Grading: Midterm I 21%, Midterm II 21%, Final 22%, 6 Labs 24%, and 12 Weekly Problem Session Quizzes 12%.
Make-up Policy: If you miss a Midterm, the Final, a Laboratory Session, or a Problem Session (PS) Quiz and have
a legitimate absence approved by the University, you will be given a make-up on the official make-up exam date as
scheduled by the Registrar’s Office.
Attendance: All students are required to attend classes, laboratory experiments, and problem sessions (PS’s).
Even a university approved "Medical Excused Absence" or "Dean of Student's Excused Absence" doesn't relieve
you of this attendance requirement. Students who miss more than 9 classes (Excused or Unexcused) will get an
automatic F irrespective of their course average.
Laboratory: 6 Experiments: 1- Kinematics of Horizontal Motion, 2- Accelerated Motion on an Inclined Plane,
3- Projectile Motion , 4- Dynamics of Motion, 5- Conservation of Linear Momentum, and 6- Rotational Motion.
Laboratory manual available at the photocopy office at Suna Kıraç Library.
Laboratory notebook available at the bookstore.
Please consult the course web site for laboratory guidelines, academic honesty, and classroom conduct.
Selected problems are posted at the course web site and are crucial to your success in the course.
We wish our students a successful semester in all aspects. Our doors are always open for consultation.
